Letters Patent No. 99,711', dated February 8, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN JOURNAL-BOXES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent anclmaking part of thesame.

To all whom it may conce-rn:

. Beit known that I, JAMES T. ROBINETT, of Petersburg, -in the county'of Dinwiddie, and State of Vir` ginin, have invented n new and improvedJournallox; und I do herebyr declare the :iollowing to be a. full,clear, and exact description ot' ,the construction and operation ot' thesame, reference being had to the accornpanyiner drawings, making a. partof this specification, in which- Figure l -is a plan view of thecoucevity of the box and lining, and

Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the Sallie.

The invention is an improvement over that for which Letters Patent, No.7 8,832, dated J une 9, 1868, were issued to myselt'and G. W. Goodwyn.

The improvement relates to the manner in which the hearing-piece and itslining are united together, rt ferrlng to that class of journal-boxeswhich is iliade in two parts;

In my other invention, the box and lining are connected by tents,projecting from near each end of the latter into tunnel-shaped socketsin the former, said tents being.; upset in said sockets. lThis methodnetaessnrily weakens the box.

This invention .consists in providing lianges at the ends of the lining,which anges project post the ends ofthe box, and are upset upon them iu:such a.- manner as to be h ehl fastvthereon.l

In the drawingsv A is the journal-box, and BF its bra-ss lining, made inskeleton forni, to receive the Bubbit or other antifricton metalWhichfornis the bearing. The ends of the box slant slightly backward.

From the ends of the lining dovetail flanges, b b, project past the endsot' the box, and when upset upm the inclined ends of the latter, areheld firlinl y thereby, and a secure connection between box and liningis formed.

This method obviates the peculiar diiiiculty of' the other, describedabove, as it in no respect weakensthe box, but rather adds to itsstrength.

Having|` thus described my invention,

What I claim asnew, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The method of connecting the box A and lining B, substantially as setforth. l
